If you missed Fat Paulie's Wicked Awesome Eatery in Ormond Beach during Ormond Burger Week for their wicked awesome burger, don’t worry—there are plenty of other delicious options to try! 🍔

One to check out? The Chicken Piccata Signature Sandwich—a hefty portion of fried chicken, provolone, and field greens, all smothered in a buttery lemon-caper mayo and served on a grilled ciabatta bun. 🤤

It comes with chips, or you can upgrade to fries—or go all in with the specialty truffle fries or chowdah fries for a few dollars more. 🍟

This sandwich was seriously delicious, but just a heads-up: their chicken piccata is breaded.

And if you’re still craving a burger, they have last year’s featured Burger Week creation on the menu: the French Onion Dip Smashburger! 🍔

A great lunch stop with plenty of tasty choices! 😋

🍦 Happy National Dessert Day! 🎃🍑

Recently visited Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs to try some sweet treats, and these desserts are giving us all the Halloween and fall vibes! 👻

🖤 Vampire Mickey Cone: A pumpkin and chocolate soft-serve swirl decorated with white sprinkles and a chocolate Mickey coin, all nestled inside a chocolate-dipped waffle cone. Spooky, sweet, and oh-so-fun!

🍑 Peach-Raspberry Sundae: Not a pumpkin fan? No problem! This delicious treat features DOLE Whip Raspberry and DOLE Whip Peach served in a waffle bowl, topped with streusel crumbs and warm peach pie filling. A little taste of fall with a tropical twist!

So, how are YOU celebrating this delicious holiday? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 Just be sure to save a little room for dinner! 😉🍨

🍽️ Mama Foo Foo Lunch Day! 🥥

Did you know Mama Foo Foo in Daytona Beach serves more than just breakfast, brunch, and late night options? They also offer lunch specials and have some new items on the menu!

🥜 Start with the Chicken Satay! These tender chicken skewers are smothered in a delicious curry peanut sauce and coated with crunchy peanuts. The combination of savory sauce, tender chicken, and added crunch makes for a flavorful starter!

🌶️ For the entrée, I tried the Risotto & Coconut Cauliflower. You can add chicken or shrimp, but I decided to give the vegan option a try. The cilantro-lime risotto was flavorful and cooked to perfection, and the cauliflower was a pleasant surprise! Breaded and coated in a sweet, tangy Thai chili sauce, it was so tasty you could almost forget you were eating cauliflower! 😉

🍝 Looking for something heartier? The Rigatoni Bolognese is a filling option, and the Wagyu Smashburger is another menu pick worth checking out.

If you’re looking to switch up your lunch routine, Mama Foo Foo is worth adding to your list!

☕️ It’s National Coffee Day! ☕️

Celebrate with a cup of Joe—or better yet, an affogato! Because why choose between coffee AND gelato when you can have both? 🍨☕️

I stopped by Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs in Orlando to try their viral affogato and see how it stacks up against the real deal in Italy. 🇮🇹

Having recently visited Italy, I may be a little spoiled when it comes to affogato, but this one definitely had that classic Italian flavor! I went with the standard custard gelato, although you can also get pumpkin gelato—and yes, it comes in the cutest edible mug! 🎃

A couple of notes: mine wasn’t dipped or topped with pistachios, and I wasn’t asked about it, so I may have missed an option there. Overall, though, it wasn’t a bad affogato!

The edible mug? Adorable for the photos… not quite as adorable for eating. 😂 It was understandably thick to hold a hot beverage, but it was really hard to bite into. Maybe letting the hot coffee soften it a little longer would have made it more palatable.

So, my verdict: cute concept, decent affogato, questionable mug. ☕️🍨

Where are you grabbing your coffee today? 👇

⛳️ It’s Sunday Funday! And with this cooler weather, it’s the perfect time to grab the family and head to Topgolf in Lake Mary!

Fuel up between swings with the Funday Faves Platter, serving 4–6 and packed with all the good stuff: fried chicken sliders with lettuce, tomato & ranch, cheesy macaroni bites, pretzel bites, chips, queso, house salsa, and—because there’s never enough ranch—more ranch for dipping! 😋

🍒 And if you’re in the mood for a cocktail, check out the Boozy Cherry Limeade served in the cutest golf-bag-shaped to-go mug! 🏌️‍♀️🍹

Swing, snack, sip, repeat! ⛳️

🍕 After a whole week of burgers, it’s time for PIZZA! 🙌

Check out some of the new options at Blaze Pizza Daytona Beach, including the Mystic Margherita Pizza and Midnight Mystic Lemonade—or stick with a classic. Why choose one pizza when you can have TWO? 😉

I went with an 11-inch pizza and split it - half Spicy Pepperoni and half Four Cheese, along with a Blood Orange Lemonade for the fountain drink—and it was delicious! 🍊

The Spicy Pepperoni was my favorite, but you really can’t go wrong with the Blazed BBQ, either. And, confession: I didn’t try it this time, but who knew Blaze also serves tiramisu?! 🍰

And here’s a win-win: if you’re part of an organization looking to host an event or fundraiser, Blaze Pizza can donate a percentage of the proceeds back to your chapter! 🙌

🍕 Good food + supporting your organization = a pretty tasty deal!
